PopCap Launches Bejeweled(R) Blitz for PC

Facebook-Connected Adaptation of #1 Puzzle Game Features High-Res Full-Screen Play, 48 New Achievements and 1 Million Coins for In-Game "Boosts"

DUBLIN, April 8, 2010 - PopCap Games, maker of some of the world's most popular video games,
today announced that Bejeweled(R) Blitz, the 1-minute social adaptation of
its mega-hit franchise Bejeweled for the Facebook(R) platform, is now
available as a downloadable game for Windows-based PCs. Carrying a suggested
retail price of US$19.95 and available exclusively at
www.popcap.com/bejeweledblitz/, Bejeweled Blitz PC offers a range of
enhancements to, and advantages over, the free Facebook game, including
full-screen play, dramatically enhanced sound and graphics, dozens of new
achievements and corresponding badges and 1 million coins redeemable for
"Blitz Boosts" - power-ups and other score-stimulating effects.

"Bejeweled Blitz is 10 years of the most popular puzzle game of the
century packed into a minute-long experience," said Jason Kapalka, co-founder
and chief creative officer at PopCap Games. "It's the purest form of
Bejeweled that we've ever concocted, factoring in everything PopCap has
learned from a decade of development and feedback from millions of fans. By
adding social and competitive elements and a time limit, we've distilled
Bejeweled down to its essence with Bejeweled Blitz, and the new PC
downloadable version makes the game available in the largest, most vibrant
form factor yet by far. For some players this could be the version that takes
their Bejeweled Blitz game to new heights."

In the new Bejeweled Blitz PC, players can connect Facebook from the
game's main menu and play the game from their PC without having to open a Web
browser. High scores and corresponding star medals can be published to
players' Facebook pages when they are logged in to Facebook.

Bejeweled Blitz, already available for Web and as an update to Bejeweled
2 on iPhone, has grown dramatically since its original launch on Facebook a
year ago, now attracting roughly 11 million active users each month and more
than 25 million users overall. Even more amazing, about 3.5 million unique
users play Bejeweled Blitz every day, playing more than 100 million sessions
per day and destroying half a billion gems per hour!
